John Milton, Paradise Lost. If you think George Lucas could write something liek that, youv'e never watched Star Wars in English. From the book of Romans: 12:17 Do not repay anyone evil for evil; consider what is good before all people. 18 If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all people. 19 Do not avenge yourselves, dear friends, but give place to God’s wrath, for it is written, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay,” says the Lord. 20 Rather, if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him a drink; for in doing this you will be heaping burning coals on his head. 21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. |
That's if you believe in a God that will take out your revenge for you. And it still acknowledges revenge as something rightful (in the end).
But if you don't believe in God you need to have the state to deal out the revenge instead.
